Exercise Description:
The dumbbell goblet squat is a compound exercise that works the quads, glutes, hamstrings, and core.
The dumbbell goblet squat can also translate into daily life in a few ways. First, it can help you improve your posture. This is because the goblet squat helps to strengthen your core muscles, which helps to keep your spine in alignment. Second, it can help you improve your balance. This is because the goblet squat requires you to maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement, which helps to improve your proprioception (your sense of body awareness). Third, it can help you build muscle in your lower body, which can give you a more attractive physique.
Proper form is important when doing the dumbbell goblet squat to avoid injury. Here are some cues to help you maintain proper form:
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent.
- Hold a dumbbell in front of your chest with both hands, with your elbows pointing down.
- Slowly lower your body down until your thighs are parallel to the ground, keeping your back straight and your core engaged.
- Drive back up to the starting position.
- Keep your back straight throughout the movement.
- Don't let your knees go past your toes.
- Keep your core engaged.
- Don't lean forward or backward.
